Terps in the NFL: Week Eight

A Terp leads the NFL in interceptions. JC Jackson tallied an interception for the third straight week as he picked off Josh Allen (while covering fellow Terp Stefon Diggs) for his fourth interception of the season, tied for the league lead.

More on JC vs. Stef, another solid night for DJ Moore and Yannick's Baltimore debut Week Eight of Terps in the NFL:

JC Jackson

Patriots CB JC Jackson continues to star for New England, tallying his league-best fourth interception of the season, five tackles (three solo) and a pass breakup while covering fellow Terp, Bills WR Stefon Diggs. 

Just call JC Mr. INT   Many think JC has been the best player on the Patriots this year.
  High praise from his teammate Stephon Gilmore and his coach Bill Belichick.

Stefon Diggs

The other side of the Jackson vs. Diggs matchup resulted in Bills WR Stefon Diggs leading the Bills with six receptions for 92 yards and now stands second in the NFL with 695 receiving yards. 

More important than his stats, Diggs got the DUB and he was pumped about it. 

BILLS WIN ❤️💙

DJ Moore

On Thursday Night Football, Panthers WR DJ Moore led the Panthers in receiving yards for the fifth time in eight games, recording two passes for 55 yards including a 42-yard reception. Moore now stands seventh in the NFL with 622 receiving yards this season.  
 

Yannick Ngakoue

DL Yannick Ngakoue came home last week as he was traded to the Baltimore Ravens from the Minnesota Vikings, making his mother very, very happy. Back in the state he played his college ball:
 In his Baltimore debut, Ngakoue tallied a half sack on Ben Roethlisberger. 

Quinton Jefferson

Bills DL Quinton Jefferson got to Patriots QB Cam Newton in the Bills win, recording his second sack of the season.
